Starting May 2026...
The MOTHER now ships with matte black 3d printed edge risers instead of the pine wood. A couple of close calls with my router and I decided to leave the dangers of woodworking to the pros. You know, keep all my fingers and such! -
Alternative Saddles!
The Mother comes with a saddle for the HA! Labs Breadboard Butler. But it can be used with other modules as well! You can purchase an additional saddle or download a FREE STL and print it yourself.

Got a suggestion for an additional module that might work nicely with The Mother? Let me know and I'll design a saddle for it! -

About The Mother
The MOTHER is a companion rig, sold as a quick-to-assemble DIY kit, that brings the functionality of the HA! Labs Breadboard Butler (or similar breadboard modules from other brands) to a breadboarding platform that makes swapping projects as easy as changing sheets of paper in a three ring binder.
After attaching your Butler (or other module) to the cradle, patch your module's power and signal I/O to the labeled socket just below. The MOTHER then routes these to both the LEFT and RIGHT sockets that flank the breadboard loading zone. Use these LEFT and/or RIGHT sockets to feed your breadboard and off you go.
When you're done with your breadboard project, or when you need to switch to something new, mid-project, instead of ripping it up to clear your breadboard, just disconnect the patches from the LEFT/RIGHT sockets, release the little spring clips, and lift off your breadboard (parts still inserted) to replace it with a fresh one.
